Images colors have been inversed

obones

Hello all,

I'm currently evaluating FastReport and I started with a simple report where I put a few pictures, in particular the company's logo.
I dropped a picture object on the page, then selected the png file that I wanted to have displayed and it shows fine.
I then used the "preview" button to test the report and it showed fine.
But once returned to the design area, the image has all its colors inverted! Black is now white, white is now black and so on.
I tried reselecting the source image file, it works. But as soon as I use the preview, the pictures are inverted again.
I cannot find a setting that would control this.

Has anyone seen this? Is there a solution to this problem?
The about box says "Version 4.7.87"

Thanks
Olivier

I never seen that bug before, maybe that's a bug in the recent daily builds (which I don't use, my last update was a month or 2 ago).
There is some limitations/complains about PNG support in FastReports regarding the lack of transparency support, so be aware of that.
I suppose they are working on the transparency problem and that resulted in a bug being introduced in other areas.
As always, I'd recommend you start a fresh new report with just the component that is giving you problem to start with, load the picture you want using just the default properties and settings, and see if it behaves properly.
Unfortunatelly I'm a bit tied up and don't have time to do individual tests like this, but the problem will certainly affect me sooner or later.
So if you don't find a solution for it, let me know, I'll put a support request regarding it.
Just out of curiosity, are you the Jedi Obones?
Cheers

Well, your remark about PNG support led me to a solution : Convert to BMP and use the BMP instead. This worked like a charm. Well, there is one downside: The size of the FR3 almost doubled. But I can live with this.
Thanks for the pointers.
